Old Silver

Old Silver Beach is located on a protected bay in Massachusetts, facing west toward open water. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach with shallow water near shore that gradually deepens. Residential development immediately inland limits the beach's dimensions and creates a confined setting typical of New England coastal communities. The bay orientation provides natural protection from large ocean swells, resulting in consistently small, manageable waves under 0.5m. Wind reliability is low at 12.7%, suggesting this spot is marginal for consistent kitesurfing. North winds offer the best side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. Water temperatures average 11.6°C, requiring thermal protection for most of the year. The shallow bay environment and residential proximity make this primarily a beginner-friendly spot when wind conditions align. Kiters should be aware of tidal movements affecting shallow areas and avoid peak recreational swimming hours. The small bay fetch limits wave development, making this better suited for light-wind conditions or skill progression rather than high-performance riding.
